Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Greg Roman breaks down Luis Perez first week with the team.
Los Angeles Chargers quarterback Luis Perez has continued to garner attention since he signed with the team one week ago. Perez made his preseason debut on Saturday against the Seattle Seahawks, impressing with a 36-yard throw down the field to wide receiver Jaylen Johnson.Perez finished his first game as a Charger going 5-12 for 61 yards, with the throw to Johnson the highlight of his debut.
"He's in here working, he's in here late every day, trying to pick it up," Roman said. "He was here for three, four days, and ended up going out there and doing a pretty good job. He's got a lot to learn, a lot to catch up on and he's sprinting to do it. He feels the sense of urgency, so I've been really impressed by that. I thought he did a pretty darn good job under the circumstances.
With the lackluster preseason performances of quarterbacks Easton Stick and Max Duggan, there could be room for Perez to fight for the second or third-string quarterback spot. The backup quarterback depth has become especially important for the Chargers amid recent injuries to starting quarterback Justin Herbert.
